CRAMPS BESET PLAYFAIR IN FIRST AND LAST MARATHON

Bob Playfair will run no more marathons.

Contracting severe leg cramps at the 12 mile mark in the North Medford Club 20 mile race Saturday, the cross-country captain managed to last out 19 1/2 miles by pure grit. Overcome by exhaustion at this point, he wavered from the track and collided with a tree. After recovery at a nearby house, the verteran harrier announced that henceforth he would stick to the two mile.
